Thread: struct problem

I'm having some problems defining a structure, can anyone help

this bit is in the header file

Code:

#include <string>


struct netData{
public:
	unsigned short int time;
	unsigned short int dTime;
	string path;
	float prob;
	float conc;
	bool alarm;
	netData *nxt;
};

for some reason the compiler doesn't like me putting a string declaration into a struct. these are the errors generated.

c:\work\programming\nettest\nt.h(40) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'path'
c:\work\programming\nettest\nt.h(40) : error C2501: 'string' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
c:\work\programming\nettest\nt.h(40) : error C2501: 'path' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

Thanks

I did include the std namespace in the main file, but overlooked that the header file would get prcessed before encountering that bit

as Homer would say DOHHH

I prefer to always type std::string. Then I don't have to worry about it.

Code:

struct netData{
public:
...
};

structs are public by default.
